D. 1835 Far off on his farm in. Tennessee, old Davy Crockett, heard of the war. for freedom. Fifty years of hunting, trapping and Indian warfare had not qvenched his thirst- for adventure, or dulled his love-of fun; but,the man had been sent to Washington- as a member of congress, and came home horrified by the .corruption of political life. He was augry and in his wrath took bis gun' from over the fireplace. He must kill something, so he went for those Mexicans In the West. His journey to the seat of war be gan by steamer down the Mississippi river, and he took a sudden fancy to a sharper who was cheating the pas sengers. He converted Thimblerig to munhood, and the poor fellow, like a lost dog, followed Davy. So the pair were riding through Texas when they met a bee hunter, riding In search of w lid honey—a gallant lad in a splendid deerskin dress, who led them to his home. The bee hunter must join Davy, too, but his heart was torn at parting with Kate, the girl he loved, and he 'turned in the saddle to cheer her with a scrap of song for farewell: \Saddled and bridled, and booted rode he, A. plume in hlB helmet, a sword at his knee.\ But the girl took up the verse, her eong broken with sobbing; “Bui toom’ carp’ the saddle, all bluldy to see, and home cam’ the steed, but hame never cam’ he.” There were adventures on the way, ror Davy hunted buffalo, fought a cou gar—knife to teeth—and pacified aD Indian tribe to get pnssage. Then they were joined by a pirate from Lafitte’s crew,.and a young Indian warrior. So, after thrashing a Mexican patrol, the party galloped into the Alamo, a Tex an fortress at i*an Antonio. - One thousand seven hundred Mexi cans had been holding that fort, until after a hundred and twenty hours fighting they were captured by two hundred and sixteen Americans. The Lone Star, flag- on the. Alamo. was de fended now by one hundred'and fifty white men. Colonel Travis commanded, and with him was Colonel Bowie, whose brok en sword, used as a dagger, has given the name to the “ bow’le knife.” Crock ett, with his followers, Thimblerig, the bee hunter, the pirate and the Indian, were warmly welcomed by., the garrison. February twenty-third, 15138, the Mexican president, Santa - Anna, brought up seventeen hundred men to besiege the Alamo, and Travis sent off the pirate to ride to Goliad for help. On the twenty-fourth the bombard ment commenced, and thirty cowboys broke in through the Mexican lines to aid the garrison. On the twenty-eighth, here Is a scrap from Davy’s private diary: “The set tlers are flying . . . leaving their possessions to the mercy of. the ruth less invader . . . slaughter is in discriminate, sparing neither age, sex, nor condition. Buildings have been burned down, farms laid waste . . . the enemy draws nlgher to the fort.” On the twenty-ninth; “This busi ness of being shut up makes a man wolfish—I had a little sport this morn ing before breakfast The enemy had planted a piece of ordnance within gunshot of the fort during the night, and the first thing in the morning they commenced a brisk cannonade point- blank against the spot where I was snoring, returned out pretty smart and mounted the rampart. The gun was charged again, a fellow stepped forth to touch her off, but before he could apply the match I let him have it, and he keeled over. A ' second stepped up, snatched the match from the hand of the dying man, but Thim blerig, who had followed me, handed me his rifle, and the next instant the Mexican was stretched upon the earth beside the first A third came up to the cannon, my companion handed me another gun, and I fixed him off in like maimer. A fourth, then a fifth seized the match, but both met with the same fate, and the whole party gave It up as a bad job, and hurried off to the camp, leaving the cannon ready charged where they had planted It. I came down, took my bitters und went to breakfast. Thimblerig told me the place from which I had been firing was one of the snuggest stands In the whole fort, for he never failed picking off two or three stragglers be fore breakfast.\ March third.—“ We have given over all hope.” March fourth.— ‘Shells have been falling Into .the fort like hail during the day, but without effect About dusk In the evening we observed a man runnning toward the fort, pur sued by about a dozen Mexican cav alry. The* bee hunter Immediately knew him to be the old hunter who bad gone to Goliad, and calling to the two hunters, he sallied out to the re lief of the old man, who was hard vas&pd I follow ed close after. Be fore we reached the spot the Mexicans were close on the heels of the old man who stopped suddenly, turned short upon his pursuers, discharged the rifle, and one of the enemy fell from his horse.” The chase was renewed, but finding that he would be overtaken and cut to pieces, he now’ turned again, and to the amazement of the enemy became the assal’ ant In turn. He clubbed Ills gun, and dashed among them like a wounded tiger, and they fled like sparrojvs. “By this time we reached the spot, and In the ardor of the mo ment followed some distance before we saw that our retreat to the fort was cut off by another detachment of cavalry. Nothing was to be done but to fight our wny through. We were all of the same mind. ‘Go ahead r cried I; and they shouted, ‘Go ahead, Colonel 1’ We dashed among them, nnd a bloody conflict ensued. They were about tw’enty In number, and they stood their ground. After the fight had continued about five minutes a detachment was seen Issuing from the fort to our relief, and the Mexicans scampered off, leaving eight of their comrades dead upon the field. \But we did riot escape unscathed, for both the pirate and the bee hunter W’ere mortally wounded, and I received a saber cut across the forehead. The old man died without speaking, as soon as we entered the fort. We bore my young friend to his bed, dressed his wounds, and I watched beside him. He lay without complaint or manifest ing pain until about midnight, when be spoke, and I asked him If he want ed anything. \ ‘Nothing,’ he replied. Toor Kate!’ His eyes filled with tears as he con tinued: ‘Her words w’ere prophetic, Colonel,’ and then he sang in a low voice: \But toom’ cam* the saddle, all bluldy to see, „ And hame cam’ the steed, but hame never cam’ he.” \He spoke no more, and n few min utes after, died. Poor Kate! who will tell this to thee?” March fifth.—“Pop, pop, popl Bom, bom, bom 1 throughout the day—no time for memorandums now—go ahead Liberty and Independence forever l\ So ends Davy’s Journal. Before dawn of the sixth a'final assault of the Mexican force carried, the lost Alamo, and at sunrise there were only six of the defenders left alive. Col onel Bowie was found with his back to the wall, with his broken rifle and his’ bloody knife. Before him lay Thimblerig, his dagger to the.hilt In a ‘ Mexican's throat, his death grip fastened In the dead man's hair. The six prisoners were brought be fore Santa Anna, who Btood surround ed by his staff amid the ruins. Gen eral Costrlllon saluted the president. “Sir, here are six prisoners I have taken alive; how shall I dispose of them?\ \Have I not told you before how to dispose of them—why do you bring them to me?\ The officers of the staff fell upon the prisoners with their swords, but like a tiger Davy sprang at Santa Anna's throat. Then he fell with e dozen swords through bis body. Up with your banner, Freedom. - Thy champions cling to thee. They'll follow where’er you lead ’em— To death or victory. Up with your banner, Freedom. Tyrants and slaves are rushing To tread thee in the dust; Their blood will soon be gushing And stain our knives with rust. But not thy banner, Freedom! While Stars and Stripes are flying Our blood we’ll freely shed; No groan wilt 'scape the dying, Seeing thee o’er hlB head. Up with your banner. Freedom. Let us consider now, briefly, the career of Sam Houston, pioneer. His life of cyclone passions and whirling change—a white boy turned Indian, then hero of a war against the red skins ; lawyer, commander In chief and governor of a state, a savage, a broken man begging a Job at Washington, an obscure figure In Texas—had made him lender of the liberators. The fall of the Alamo filled the Tex ans with fury, but when that was fol lowed by the awful massacre of Goli ad they went raving mad. Houston, their leader, waited for reinforcements, until his men wanted to murder him, but when he marched It was to San Jnclnto where, with eight liundred Tex ans, he scattered one thousand six hun dred Mexicans, and captured Santa Anna. He was proclaimed president of the Lone Star republic, which Is now the largest star In the American con stellation. Hard to Photograph.

D O YOU get up these winter mornings feeling tired, weak -achy all over? Are you so lame, stiff and miserable it seems you can never get back in trim? Does your back ache with a dull, constant throb? Sharp, rheumatic pains torture you at every step? Then you should be giving some attention to your kidneys! Winter, you know, is danger time for the kidneys. That’s because exposure to colds and chills wears down body resistance and throws an unusally heavy strain on the hard-working kidneys. The kidneys are apt to fall behind in keeping the blood-stream pure, and poisons accumulate that well kidneys would have filtered off. Racking backaches come with stabbing pains; muscles and joints ache constantly; there are headaches, too, with dizziness and distressing kidney irrégularités. Nerves are “jumpy”; one feels old—all worn ouL - Give your weakened kidneys the help they need. Use Doan’a P ill» — a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. Doan*» have helped thousands.

Chinook St., Livingston, Mont., says: \I was all run down and caught a cold which settled in my kidneys. My back was so lame and sore I could hardly lie comfortably in bed. I was troubled a great deal with dizzy spells and severe headaches. The worst trouble of all was the irregular action of my kidneys. A friend recommended Doan’s Pills to me and three boxes rid me of the attack.” MILTON B. YORKTON, stat engineer, N. 4th St., Hamilton, Mont, says: \I was taken with lumbago which was .caused from a cold. For three days I lay in my bed with such a pain in my back and through my kidneyB I could scarcely move. My head nearly split with pain and my neck was stiff. After using Doan's Pills, ¿be headache disappeared and I was able to-go to work, entirely rid of the attack.” D O A N ' S F I L L S SiSsnsiissit DSuretiic €o the K idneys At all dealers, 60c a box.

It must be remembered that an infant is helpless, unable to tell that constipation is making its life jniserable. Consequently the mother must be able to recognize signs of constipation in her baby. Convulsions, night terrors, grinding the teeth in sleep, feverishness, fretfulness and such symptoms—any of these may indicate that poisons from baby’s stagnant intestine are Hood ing the little body. ’ In older children biliousness, coated tongue, loss of appetite warn the mother that constipation is present. Constipation, unchecked in youth, may lead to serious consequences. In constipation, according to intestinal specialists, lies the primary cause of more than three-quarters of all illness, including the gravest diseases of life. M o n Important Than Soap and Water Laxatives Only Aggravate Constipation The mother should not resort to laxatives. A noted authority says that laxatives and cathartics do not overcome constipation but by their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition and often lead to permanent injury. W h y Physicians Favor Lubrication . Medical science, through knowledge of the intestinal tract: gained by X-ray observation, has found in lubrication a means oF overcoming constipation. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetrates- and softens the hard food waste and hastens its passage through, and out o f the body. Thus Nujol brings internal cleanliness. N o t a M edicine Nujolis used in children s and general hospitals and isprescribed* by physicians throughout the world. Nujol is not a medicine or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water it is harmless. Let your infant cr child have Nujol regularly— and see rosy cheeks, clear eyes and happiness return once more. Get rid of constipation and avoid disease by adopting the habit of internal cleanliness. Take Nujol yourself as regularly as you- brush your teeth or wash your'face. For sale by all druggists.
